Android Question Activity GradientDrawable prevents layout from sliding up when keyboard is open

[Jose Miranda]

Im loading a layout with a form inside a ScrollView. When I use ColorDrawable and click on a text box to enter text the keyboard appears and the entire app slides up to show the text box while I type. This is OK.

If I use GradientDrawable to put a gradient on the ScrollView (trying to let people know that the form can be scrolled) and click on a text box the app does not slides up anymore and the textbox stays behind the keyboard.

Is this normal?

You can use the IME library to have more control over the screen behavior:

I was able to work this out using the IME library. Thanks.
